A study was reported in 2004 of people with advanced coronary artery disease who started taking just 50 ml of pomegranate juice daily. At the end of 1 year, control subjects taking a placebo showed a further 9% increase of coronary artery media-intima thickening. Those on pomegranate juice, had up to a 30% decrease [M. Aviram, et al., Pomegranate juice consumption for 3 years by patients with carotid artery stenosis reduces common carotid intima-media thickness, blood pressure and LDL oxidation. Clin Nutr. 2004 Jun;23(3):423-33]. Were these findings truly reflecting an important therapeutic benefit of a simple, widely available nutraceutical? Is there anything sinister about the limited follow-up by the medical community?
